SABINNA is a female-led conscious lifestyle brand offering products and experiences based in East London and Vienna. Well known for their signature handcraft details, strong silhouettes, and vibrant color palettes as well as being a modern storyteller for women. Their core values are rooted in innovation

SABINNA's sustainable values play a big part when it comes to packaging. To wrap their items safely, they use customised tissue paper with their signature SABINNA flower print. It’s completely acid-free, FSC certified and printed using soy-based ink. For small orders, they use 100% compostable mailers made out of corn, larger orders will be packed into recycled mailers

SABINNA works with local makers, hosting workshops to teach people craft skills, and are part of the upcycling community Reture. They additionally offer peer to peer to support for other entrepreneurs

SABINNA's founder learned traditional handcraft from her grandmother, therefore artisan work is an integral part of their business. Their hand knitted pieces are made by SABINNA's mum in Vienna and their wovens are made by small female led factories in the UK and family run businesses in Portugal

SABINNA is a female-led team, made up of immigrant women. It is very important for them to empower other women. They work closely with female-led manufacturing units and businesses like the Bow Seing Center that employs immigrant women and helps them build an independent life in London

4 women are part of SABINNA's core team, and they work with 5 freelancers, making it a very small business

Who didn’t love a scrunchie in the ‘90s? They’re currently having a bit of a style moment, and we’re all for it. In fact, we’re so excited that this playful hair accessory is back that we had to make our own.
After noticing the lack of sustainable scrunchies on the market, now you can hold your hair with our eco-friendly design, handmade in our Vienna and London studios. The inside of our scrunchie is made out of 90% organic cotton and 10% recycled elastane, while the outside fabric is not only organic fibres, but it’s actually made from our leftover fabric scraps. This means that you can now match your scrunchie to your favourite SABINNA dress, all while helping us reduce fabric waste. It’s a win/win, really.

Organic cotton is cotton grown in pesticide-free environments, with sustainability in mind. 

Organic cotton farmers can keep soil healthy for longer, as the fertility of the soil is not compromised. This also means they only grow GMO-free seeds. Additionally, organic cotton farmers do not have to expose themselves to harmful chemicals, prioritizing workers' health, the health of the people in their communities, and the natural ecosystems they operate in. 

Organic cotton is a bio-based material, making it biodegradable, fully composting after it has retired from use.

Organic cotton is a sustainable solution as it is grown without the use of pesticides, from seeds which have not been genetically modified, unlike regular cotton. It is also more sustainable for cotton farmers, protects their land and is more respectful for people. 

Upcycling, also known as creative reuse, is the process of transforming by-products, waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials or products of better quality and environmental value. 

Upcycling artists are inspired by the textile waste they see, which is almost an unlimited resource at this point. They create with the intention to use what is already here. This process is important in the circular fashion movement, because it makes use of discarded textiles, giving these materials second lives. 

Because discarded textiles are not typically sheets of fabric, but rather articles of discarded clothing, a lot of creativity is required to transform materials into new fashionable pieces. This challenge is exciting for upcycling artists, as they are driven and inspired to create with what is in front of them and often don’t have much to lose in the process, since discarded materials are readily available and cheap. Because of this, upcycled clothing is often unique as each piece has been thoughtfully crafted into a new garment.

This product is made by creatively upcycling materials that would otherwise go to waste. This makes better use of resources like deadstock fabrics: leftovers from big production that are saved by re-using them.
